i would have been offended , just cos he knows y your going back to school. i commend you for going back most stay at home moms never really get the chance to go back. sit down and talk to him about it. no yelling or shouting. just try n communicate with him. after all who will it all benefit after law school ?? your husband and your kids.

I would be so MAD! I'd flip.. That's just me though... My hubby makes me feel like that sometimes despite everything I do and I do get very very very angry. It's just complete disregard for what you do, how you feel and what you should mean to him.

Well if you guys have a joking relationship then it wouldnt bother me. Me and my guy tease eachother all of the time. But if you dont,,, I would be pissed. Tell him to act ike a part of the family and help out at home or just you stop doing everything.

What a jerk. I would stop doing what you are doing and let him see how much work you actually do. He will change his tune. You need marriage counseling badly.

Tell him he better treat you right or when you finish school and become a high-paying lawyer, you'll dump his butt for a younger model!

you didn't put him in the dog house? I'd be seeing RED!
You just continue to go to school and get into law school.
I applaud you for everything you are doing. You make some women look like.... well, Peg Bundy! YOU definitely are NOT.
Your husband should be proud of all you are doing, how ignorant of him to make that comment. He should at least apologize to you AND, in front of that neighbor, tell you how much he loves you and that he's proud of you. If he doesn't, you will soon be able to kick him to the curb.

Yeah, I would be mad...however, it may help to remind him that you have a job raising the kids and taking care of the house, however, if you were to get a job in the average workforce that expenses would go up (i.e. day care or after school care for the kids, more dinners out as with your heavy schedule that is something he would have to do...) Marriages are meant to be a partnership and as it stands now, what you have isn't that, however shedding the light on the truth of your day may help get you guys there...
Best of luck!

I think your husband is an inconsidered jerk.
From what you describe you are a VERY busy and dependable woman and what you do at home is a job and it sounds like you work your a*s off and your husband doesn't appreciate it.

All men are azz... You need to draw a line and stop doing everything around the house. It's his house. kids and family too.. What's wrong with us.. I'm going thru the same thing right now.. After 9 years of marriage all of sudden, my husband thinks I'm arrogant, I don't work( stay home mom for 4 yrs) worked till last trimester... I'm just home and all cr__...
Ofcourse, I'll be hurt.. Sometimes we need to turn around n think WOW.. N I GOT MARRIED TO THIS JA__ AZZ

If I were you I would prove to him that everything that you do and let him know that being a stay at home mom and a student is a full time all around the clock job. I prove this to him but calling up a house cleaning business to come in and clean the house,a landscaper for the yard-work,a nanny to watch the kids,etc.And get all of the bills for all of the work that was done and that would show him how much you're worth amd more. Because he gets all of that wrapped up in you everyday.

He made the comment because maybe he feels a bit inadequate. You sound like a "Wonder Woman" and he may be intimidated by your success in handling your life and basically taking care of yourself. I commend you on your abilities.
I give this answer because I too am a married "independent" woman who runs things all by myself and at times my husband has made those comments to me and admitted his intimidation.. Wow that was a milestone!
It takes strong women like us to make the world go around. He probably didn't really mean anything by it, he was probably just be sarcastic, tell him how much it bothered you and maybe it's time you remind him that YOU are the one who prepares his meals and if he wants to live another day... you suggest he doesn't say anything like that again.. :-) Good Luck, stay strong!

I would never do that to my wife. being an at home mom is a difficult job as it is. i have 3 kids as well and my wife works her but off with them on a regular basis. I cut the grass and fix the car and help my wife when i get home because she works hard enough when i am at work. On top of everything else you are going to school full time in a field that will be very lucrative in the future and he might be feeling threatened at your potential for success. I would sit him down and tell him your feelings on how the hurtful thing that he said disrespected you and make aware to him all the things that you DO around there. Any gentleman would appreciate the work you do and apologize. He might have just been playing with you and not realized how hurtful his words were. I know i have stuck my foot in my mouth at times in pursuit of comedy and when my wife brings it to my attention i feel terrible. if he was not kidding then maybe he needs some enlightenment as we all do from time to time. but i would try to communicate your feelings with him and you DO have every right to be angry and hurt at that comment. I respect you for the hard work your doing good job!

If it was a one-time thing, I'd say it was just a joke in poor taste. He was probably being sarcastic and saying that you do TOO MUCH. Take a break once in awhile, and let your husband share some responsibility. I'm sure he won't mind.

You remind me so much of my mother with all that work around the house and studying at the same time, and I know that it's very difficult.
I would be very mad if someone, especially if I had a husband, said that after all that hard work! I don't even care if he was joking. People mustn't make jokes like that. I'd tell him how I feel and put him in my position for a day to make him feel how hard it is to do so many things.
